Absolute Power review

5 out of 5 stars
So I'd heard a lot about Absolute Power. I expected it to be one of the best books I ever read, and I was not disappointed.
When a professional burglar witnesses a murder involving the President of the United States it starts a chain of evens no one could have imagined.
In the beginning I wasn't completely sold on the book. There were a lot of threads and carracters, and it didn't seem that the book had a connection or a direction. But as the book progressed, as the story progressed, it developed into something I could have never guessed. The threads wove together into something amazing. It was a book that made me cry and kept me guessing the whole time. I read a lot of suspense and it takes a lot to catch me off guard. Absolute Power did just that. I didn't expect how the story unfolded, I didn't expect how characters reacted, and I absolutely did not see how it was going to end.
I highly recommend this book to fans of political thrillers.

Live to Tell Review

5 of 5 stars

Lisa Gardner is one of those authors that I forget how good she is - fast paced, twisting, emotional, and satisfying, Live to Tell is a great book. There are three story lines that twist together and although as a reader I knew the lines were going to merge I could not have guessed how it would happen. Live to Tell is at turns disturbing and dark and then hopeful and loving. I would definitely recommend this book.

Hour Game Review

5 out of 5 stars

I liked the first King and Maxwell book - this second one is better. I loved it! What really made the book for me was the relationship between Sean King and Michelle Maxwell. It was funny and real and made me want to meet them. The mystery was full of twists and turns, and the story was fast paced. I couldn't put it down. I definitely recommend this book!

Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock Review

5 out of 5 stars

Wow. That's really all I can say about Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock, just wow. What an amazing book. Heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. I could not put this down and read it in just a few hours. I think the only thing I can say is my favorite quote from the book.
"Keep weeding
Weed your mind
And man the great light
Even when no one is looking."
Wow

The Search Review

5 out of 5 stars

I loved this book. The main character Sarah was great - stubborn, smart, and determined. Monty the dog was completely lovable. The story had lots of twists and turns some which I did not see coming. The supporting characters were great and added a lot to the story. (I really want a Galen story now!) I would definitely recommend this book to fans of suspense and thrillers.

The Face of Fear Review

5 out of 5 stars

The Face of Fear is roller-coaster ride of a read. I could not put it down. From the very first chapter Dean Koontz builds the suspense and tension all the way until the end.

Graham Harris is a mountain climber injured in a fall. Now he has a severe fear of heights and clairvoyance which allows him to see into the mind of a murderer. Working late in a high rise in New York, Graham and his girlfriend Connie come face to face with the killer known as the Butcher.

I would highly recommend this book to fans of suspense/thrillers. It was amazing!

The Innocent Review

5 out of 5 stars

This is only my second book by David Baldacci, but I may have to put him on my to read author list. I loved it. I found the first few chapters slow because I wasn't sure why I was getting so much detail about things that didn't seem important. But David Baldacci crafts an intricate story. He builds layers and depth. The characters are believable and moving. The pace keeps building till at one point I had to get up and walk around because I had all this energy from the book!

I would recommend The Innocent to fans of thrillers and political intrigue.

The Shadow Miner Review

5 out of 5 stars

I loved this book. It was amazing. The world building was very well done. The author avoided the dreaded info dump, and instead gradually introduced the reader to an amazing world. The characters were very well portrayed and likable. I particularly liked the characters of Sara and Mikel. There were also several quotable parts as the author gave the story a deeper spiritual meaning. I would highly recommend this book and in fact I already have! I look forward to seeing what Katie Beitz does next.
